Stefan Schwoon, 23 August and 15 October 2001

From Ralf Hartemink's International Civic Arms website:

The arms were granted on December 10, 1975.

The arms combine symbols from the old arms; the [canting] oak leaf from the arms of Aichach, the cross [for the possessions of the bishops of Augsburg] from the arms of Friedberg. The chief of Bavaria was part of both old arms.

Literature: [presumably Linder and Olzog 1996].
